In a contentious story that the media buried today, the founder of Telegram shocked Tucker Carlson, exposed U.S. law that forces tech engineers to install secret back doors—and then threatens jail time if they tell their own company.
This is why Telegram didn’t set up shop in America.
“You know what’s interesting, in the U.S., you have a process that allows the government to actually force any engineer in any tech company to implement a back door and not tell anyone about it.”
“Using this process called the gag-order, you know there are certain legal procedures.”
CARLSON, stunned: “Not tell his own employer about it?”
DUROV: “Yes, exactly. If you tell your own boss, you can end up in jail. Like, gag order.”
CARLSON: “Actually?!”
DUROV: “Yeah.”
CARLSON: “So your employees have a legal obligation to act as fifth column spies? Saboteurs against you, your employees?”
DUROV: “That’s one of the reasons I didn’t move to the U.S. with my team.”
